    Yep, he sure is... just ask him! ;)

    Seriously though; I've never trained with or even met Mr. Vickers; those I know who have, give universally glowing reports. You gotta admit he comes off a bit douchey on that video, though.

    I guess he comes off that way a little. I thought it was funny, but I have a sick sense of humor. It reminded me of a few NCOs I knew. Anyone who spent ten years in Delta definitely earns their badass title though. I would jump at the chance to go to one of his classes.

    Anyway, back on topic, I much prefer the Pat Rogers carbine.

    Me, too. It's a little short, though. :):

    In all seriousness, I wouldn't buy either carbine, as I'd just end up changing parts on them to suit my needs/tastes, but the EAG more closely resembles something I could live with. And it's $1000 cheaper. And it comes with a $200 gift certificate for one of Pat's training courses.

    Your numbers are a little off; I'm sure the $500 price on the DD V2 upper includes a barrel, but you've also got the CHF barrel listed separately. That's only a difference of a couple hundred bucks, though.

    That's the first thing I thought... For that price, color and texture better match!

    They don't on a $2500+ SCAR-16S; guess a $3000 AR is no better. :xmad:

    I can see how someone who didnt want to build or worry about ordering anything else would be happy to buy it. I personally would go with the Pat Rogers/ BCM rifle but that is me.
